One such difference is the existence of in-game economies and their undeniable chemistry with professional matches. Indeed, many argued that the roots of match-fixing in eSports went all the way back to video game developer Valve’s “Arms Deal” update for CS:GO back in August 2013, where “weapon skins” were made available for players to trade, buy and sell through Steam, Valve’s digital distribution platform.Sites such as csgolounge.com and opskins.com were quickly created to avoid some of the regulations of Steam’s “Community Market.” On the latter site players were able to avoid the Steam wallet restriction and sell their skins for real money, while on the former players were able to bet their skins on professional CS:GO matches. This site made it all too easy, some argued, for professional players to be tempted into throwing unimportant games. However, some would take the argument further.These are introduced with the most recent patch to allow hitboxes to better reflect the player’s action, according to Valve. That also includes changing the animations for pretty much everything. Bomb defusing, climbing and all other weapon deploy animations are upgraded.Almost exactly a year later, the Arms Deal update would be introduced. CS: GO would never be the same.Online gambling is illegal in many European countries and CSGO Lounge does not appear on the register of approved gambling providers in France or the U.K., which do permit some online betting. Neither does EGB.com, a Costa Rica-based site that also allows users to bet on eSports using real money.CSGO Lounge says on its web site that placing a bet represents a confirmation you are “in abidance with your country’s laws” regarding gambling, including minimum age. EGB, for its part, asks users to tick a box confirming they’re of legal age. Neither site responded to multiple requests for comment for this story.

The update's announcement post will let you compare the old textures to new ones, if you like, as well as that sidebar notification of 10,452,064 unique players last month. Obviously a lot of this comes out of yet another Steam sale, where folks who aren't sure if they'd be into Global Offensive pick it up for a fiver and give it a go. Still: that's a lot of people conducting sickening headshots on one-another, and not a mile behind Dota 2's 11,938,602 monthly players.

It's a system that tends to push players to spend a little at first to see if they get lucky, before they feel compelled to spend a whole lot more in hopes of earning their initial investment back.Otherwise, I'm looking towards mobile games, because I think the level of polish in mobile games is not as large as PC games. It's a really saturated market for sure, so you've got to really come up with something that's different. I want to make a cheap mobile game that is quick to produce. I can't afford to make another game that requires two years of development.Probably the single most-argued argument in all of gaming is the silly, ill-formed rivalry between the console gamepad and the PC mouse and keyboard. It’s a bogus distinction to make, like asking whether spreadsheets are better than graphs — they are different ways of doing similar things. Still, there is one undeniable downside of the keyboard and mouse, and that is that you have to use a keyboard and mouse, regardless of where you want to play. With the touchpads-instead-of-analog-sticks Steam Controller, has Valve successfully bridged the gap between the precision of a mouse and the comfort of a controller? Well, it depends who you ask.In its latest video, Valve shows the Steam Controller in action for the first very time so we can start to see how its features might actually come together. The demonstration, which is promised to be the first of several about the controller, features gameplay from Portal 2, Civilization 5, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and an indie game called Papers, Please. These represent a nice cross-section of different control schemes, from the twitchy FPS controls of Counter-Strike to the Windows-like mouse pointing of Civilization, and the controller seems to do at least fairly well with all of them. The video shows minimal lag and a good variety of input options, but it focused primarily on the trackpads. The programmable buttons at the center of the controller went unaddressed, and in fact never displayed anything at all.As we already knew, the Steam Controller allows each of the touchpads to be configured separately; this means that one can act like a joystick and calculate player input as the thumb’s distance from the center, while the other acts like a trackpad and follows absolute finger position only. Each has its uses in different games — for instance most Civilization players will likely want to set up both sides as simple trackpads, one for panning the camera and one for moving the mouse. On the other hand, console shooter fans can use simulated double-joysticks for running and aiming in the style of Halo.This jackpot system is growing in popularity exponentially and some of the biggest streamers on Twitch concentrate primarily on betting on these sites instead of actually playing the game now. Some streams will advertise the gambling quite heavily when it’s done, either for the reaction when losing (or winning) or for the excitement of gambling itself.Glitches like this can be fixed easily enough, one would hope, but body parts clipping through walls is a more intractable problem. On the defending side Siege is very much about camping, but if you're next to certain walls bits of your anatomy or gun can clip through them. This happens especially when prone, because the player's perspective is disconnected from the character model in the sense the latter can occupy impossible positions so the former can take realistic sightlines. This is not an easily solvable problem because, basically, it's a trade-off the developers have made. But one has to question the wisdom of that deal in a game where positioning is king.If I ever meet Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, the first thing I will say is "give up on uPlay." One has to respect that any publisher Ubisoft's size wants to have its own distribution platform and "social network," but not at the point where it is actively making that same company's games worse for the player. Siege uses uPlay to handle team invites, and it only just manages. Sometimes the invites don't go through, or it drops players between screens. This is a pain when you just want efficiency.

Earlier this week, Valve patched CS:GO to improve the in-client spectating experience a little, allowing you to natively view the game from the perspective of the match's caster. There's also a new camera transition animation that makes swapping between different players' perspectives less disorienting. On Twitch, matches should appear on the ESLTV_CS channel. Surveys conducted by analyst firm Superdata Research have found that in the US, women play more PC games overall than men. They also play more RPGs on PC than men, while men outnumber women in the FPS and MMO genres.As things stand, Siege is a potentially brilliant game that's smothered by the very people who would benefit if it succeeds. You don't have to look far in the FPS graveyard before seeing games that deserved better, and Evolve's corpse is so fresh it's almost twitching. No game has a divine right to succeed, though. Zealots like me can only pray Ubisoft sees the light, even if it may already be too late.Online-only game retailer, code seller and general provider of cheap products Kinguin have announced they're opening a store specifically for the sale and trade of CS:GO weapon skins for cold, hard cash. They're not the only ones, with G2A having their own section of their store for similar purposes. There is third party selling of codes for skins in other games like League of Legends, but the nature of the economy is so different that they're less of a currency, more of a luxury item, and less procurable for selling. You can't both use and then resell a code for PAX Sivir, for example, while a Crimson Web Huntsman Knife is good to go whenever.First-person shooter, or FPS, games have been traditionally understood as the most popular video game genre for American audiences. Today, “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive,” or just “Counter-Strike,” is the predominant FPS game being played competitively. While other games like those of the “Call of Duty” series do have successful eSports scenes, “Counter-Strike” is the premier game in the US. As such, the Collegiate StarLeague established its inaugural “Counter-Strike” league this year.Back in 2008, Major League Gaming was the first to develop the American eSports scene with “Halo,” the very popular Microsoft sci-fi FPS franchise, while rival eSports organization Championship Gaming Series chose to feature “Counter-Strike” as its FPS of choice. Prior to these events, eSports as a whole was largely relegated to Asian audiences that watched strategy games like “Starcraft,” or European events in other shooter games like “Quake.” In 2016, Major League Gaming, which was recently purchased by Activision, will be hosting the first ever CS Major international tournament in North America. There are currently over a half a million daily “Counter-Strike” players, and their community only continues increasing in size.Counter Strike: Global Offensive is available on Steam for PC, Linux, and OSX, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.The ESL is negotiating a deal with Twitch, Vulcun, and top Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams to establish a new CS:GO league independent of Valve. What's particularly interesting (and potentially alarming) about the plan is that according to the Daily Dot, the new league would be exclusive, meaning that teams playing under its auspices would not be allowed to play anywhere else. The ESL, however, says it's not seeking to prevent teams attending tournaments put on by other organizations.

Said warnings rolled out as early as July of 2015. The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team notified the community that operators who created servers that “falsify the contents of a player's profile or inventory” would be punished.Hopefully "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" would be able to keep this record when Steam launches is new streaming device Steam Link and the accompanying Steam Controller next month. Currently the hardware is not compatible with Mac and Steam is working to fix this. On the other hand, to check how Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with respect to the number of concurrent players at the moment you may go to Steam & Game Stats.Here is another great news for all "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" fans: the game is now integrated with plays.tv, which is an online service that lets the user easily share game play moments. To commemorate the integration, plays.tv is holding a video contest where they are giving away one of the most sought after CS:GO weapon skins, the AWP Dragon Lore, to four lucky individuals. And as stated in the website blog, "the contest runs from 10/14/2015 to 11/4/2015" and "only videos created within the contest dates are eligible."

If you want to buy an AWP in a competitive game, the best time to do it is on the first gun round of the game (typically the fourth round) and when you’re carrying at least $5,750. Even if your team has lost the first three rounds, secured zero objectives, and you personally didn’t notch a kill over that time, you’ll have earned $6,500 total by round four, including your initial $800 of starter cash.
